The votes have been counted, the phone lines are closed - and top shop watchers Chart-Track can now reveal that UK consumers bought an estimated 165,000 PlayStation 3 units in the first two days after the console went on sale.
That makes PS3 the fastest-selling home console in history, beating the Wii - which shifted 105,000 units during its launch weekend - and Xbox 360, with 70,000 sold. Microsoft and Nintendo struggled to meet demand for their consoles, leading to bare shelves, empty hands and wet cheeks across the land.
